Famous quotes containing the word europe:

    “In Europe life is histrionic and dramatized, and ... in America, except when it is trying to be European, it is direct and sincere.”
    —William Dean Howells (1837–1920)

    “We go to Europe to be Americanized.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The city is recruited from the country. In the year 1805, it is said, every legitimate monarch in Europe was imbecile. The city would have died out, rotted, and exploded, long ago, but that it was reinforced from the fields. It is only country which came to town day before yesterday, that is city and court today.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
